Preface
When an actor becomes famous for a role, does that mean that her life can only be defined by that role from now on? When the audience's expectations of an actor diverge from her pursuits, can she still assert herself? Gan Tingting, an actress who became famous for her role as Pan Jinlian, has also fallen into an unprecedented predicament.
Her story may give us some inspiration.
Accidentally stepped into the showbiz
Gan Tingting, a girl born and raised in Wuhu, Anhui Province, has had a dream of being an actress since she was a child.
However, the cruelty of reality made her have to face the choice between her dreams and life after graduating from high school.
Just when she feels lost and lost, an unexpected opportunity changes the course of her life.
Her beauty caught the attention of an advertising agency, who invited her to come to Shanghai to shoot an advertisement.
Gan Tingting seized the opportunity, and she knew that this could be the only way for her to achieve her dream.
During her days in Shanghai, Gan Tingting quickly emerged in the modeling circle with her sweet appearance and professional attitude.
In two years, she shot countless commercials and became a hot star.
But Gan Tingting was not carried away by these successes, she always maintained an innocent and kind heart.
She sent most of her earnings back to her hometown to improve her family's lives.
This is enough to see her filial piety and intimacy.
However, Gan Tingting is not satisfied with just being a model.
She knows that her true dream is to become an actress.
So, she began to use her spare time to learn acting and hone her acting skills.
She believes that as long as she works hard enough, she will one day be able to occupy a place in the entertainment industry.
Pan Jinlian in "Water Margin" is famous and controversial
In 2009, fate beckoned to Gan Tingting again.
This year, the famous director is preparing for a remake of the classic "Water Margin", for which they have cast a wide range of roles across the country.
Pan Jinlian, a well-known character, is the dream goal of many actors.
Countless talented young actors came to audition, hoping to get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Gan Tingting also came to the audition site.
Although she is still a newcomer in the entertainment industry and does not have many works, her aura and understanding of the role impressed the director team.
To everyone's surprise, in the end, Gan Tingting defeated countless competitors and successfully won the role of Pan Jinlian.
This decision is destined to push her life to a whole new level.
In order to live up to the trust and expectations of the director team, Gan Tingting devoted herself to the shaping of the role.
She carefully studied the original work, figured out Pan Jinlian's psychology, and strived to present a three-dimensional and vivid "the most innocent Pan Jinlian" to the audience.
She often discussed the details of the character with the director, and even in order to better understand the character, she went to Pan Jinlian's hometown of Shandong Province to experience the local customs.
When "Water Margin" finally met the audience, Gan Tingting's performance was really eye-catching.
She interpreted Pan Jinlian's pungency, charm, and cunning to the fullest, giving this familiar character a new vitality.
The audience applauded her performance, and the media also spoke highly of her.
For a time, Gan Tingting became the hottest new star in the entertainment industry, her name appeared on major headlines, and her popularity soared to the sky.
However, with great success came controversy.
A group of Gan Tingting's sexy photos went viral on the Internet, causing an uproar.
Gan Tingting in the photo is charming and sultry, although there is no dew point, but it is enough to make people think about it.
For a while, the Internet was full of all kinds of discussions about Gan Tingting, some people praised her for being beautiful and moving, and some people accused her of being too exposed.
The "nude photos" scandal has damaged its reputation
What Gan Tingting didn't expect was that a mysterious person who claimed to be her ex-boyfriend actually made these intimate photos public, and claimed that this was evidence of Gan Tingting's unscrupulous means in order to get on the throne.
This is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
Suddenly, the Internet was full of abuse and insults against Gan Tingting, she was accused of relying on "unspoken rules" to get to power, and her moral character was seriously questioned.
Faced with such a situation, Gan Tingting felt extremely aggrieved and angry.
She explained that those were ordinary photo shoots, and that there was nothing wrong with the shooting.
But in the relatively conservative social environment at the time, the release of an actress's intimate photos would undoubtedly be considered a manifestation of "debauchery".
People are more willing to believe the rumors that add fuel to the vinegar than to listen to Gan Tingting's explanations.
Gan Tingting's statement did not receive much understanding and sympathy.
The "nude photos" incident made Gan Tingting's public image plummet.
Although her outstanding performance in "Water Margin" is obvious to all, in people's impressions, she is more like an actress who relies on "hue".
For a while, Gan Tingting became the target of public criticism, and wherever she went, she could hear people pointing at her.
Her reputation and dignity have been hurt like never before.
In this whirlpool of public opinion, Gan Tingting felt extremely helpless and hesitant.
She couldn't understand why she had put in so much effort and ended up like this.
She began to doubt her original intention of choosing an acting career, and doubted whether she still had the courage to continue.
But Gan Tingting was not defeated.
With the encouragement of her family and true friends, she decided to pick herself back on her feet.
She understands that if she chooses to back down at this time, it will be tantamount to admitting those rumors.
She must prove her innocence and prove her strength with her actions.
got rid of the shadow of "Pan Jinlian", but it backfired
In order to get rid of the shadow of "Pan Jinlian" and reshape her image, Gan Tingting is determined to show her skills in her future works.
She began experimenting with a variety of different types of roles, hoping to let the audience see her multifacetedness.
She believes that as long as her performance is superb enough, she can impress those who question her.
However, the reality is far more brutal than she imagined.
No matter how good she did in her later works, people were always willing to associate her with Pan Jinlian.
As long as she shows a touch of charm and sexiness in the role, she will attract criticism.
"In her bones, it is Pan Jinlian's life" and "Born with charming bones", such evaluations follow her like a shadow and become a label that she can't get rid of.
Even in some inconsequential supporting roles, Gan Tingting could not escape her tongue.
A cameo role in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", because her figure was slightly plump at that time, she was ridiculed and ridiculed, saying that her "gentle township" trait was revealed.
For an actress, such remarks are undoubtedly a disservice.
It not only affected Gan Tingting's self-confidence, but also gave her a deep sense of powerlessness in this industry.
Gan Tingting began to reflect on why people are always willing to judge an actor by a stereotype? Why does the success of a character become her shackles? She doesn't understand, can't actors be multifaceted and show different charms in different roles?
But no matter how hard Gan Tingting tries, it seems that she can't change people's inherent impression of her.
The more she tries to prove herself, the more people think she's deliberately behaving on purpose.
Gan Tingting fell into a strange circle, the more she wanted to get rid of Pan Jinlian's shadow, the more Pan Jinlian's shadow followed.
The strength is covered by the star effect, helpless and aggrieved
Gan Tingting's encounter reached its apex in "Lonely Fang Don't Appreciate Yourself" with the popular actress Yang Ying.
Although her performance in the play is remarkable, and her acting skills are obviously above Yang Ying, all the attention is focused on this traffic star.
What the audience is vying to discuss is how beautiful Yang Ying's appearance is in the play, and how strong the chemistry between her and the male protagonist is.
As for Gan Tingting's superb interpretation? I'm sorry, but no one cares.
The purpose of people watching dramas seems to be to watch Yang Ying, not to appreciate her acting skills.
As an actor who hopes to speak with strength, Gan Tingting feels extremely lost and unwilling.
The hard work she put in was covered up by the star effect in this way.
This incident made Gan Tingting feel a deep sense of powerlessness in the entire industry.
She began to wonder if acting still made any sense in this entertainment industry, which is increasingly valuing traffic and topicality.
She felt that her efforts always seemed to be unrewarded and recognized.
But Gan Tingting did not give up because of this.
She still firmly believes that as an actor, the most important thing is to be worthy of her conscience and the audience's expectations.
She decided to continue to forge ahead on the road of acting and prove her strength with more excellent works.
She believes that one day, people will truly see her talent, not just her past.
